"I was a bit disappointed when I opened the box. It looks longer and more "pointy" than it does in the pics here. And it IS narrow. I'm usually a 7.5-8 so I ordered an 8 after reading the reviews but it barely fits. I don't think I could wear socks with it. Plus there's a weird shine in the front and back and it would be fine except it has a very distinct boundary from the not shiny part... but maybe that'll fade away. The shoe has started to grow on me even though it's not what I was expecting. I'm gonna take it to the store and either return or buy an 8.5."

"I ordered these shoes to take with me for a weekend away. After the first day blisters started on the very edges of the balls of my feet since the toe section is a bit narrow. And the creases that formed from walking around collected dirt and cracked. Thus after a day of use they look a year + old and will be tossed. If you need basic oxfords for work and won't be walking around a lot they're okay in a pinch - but it's better to spend more for quality leather that will last."
